GE didn't pay any Fed taxes in 2010, and in fact took 3.2 billion in a tax refund from the IRS, and now says they will not take the 3.2 billion. Wow. I don't know whether to throw a party or throw up.

"GE to return $3.2B tax refund to Treasury"
-------------
This gave GE as much bad publicity as those safety bonuses for the company execs responsible for the BP oil disaster.

GE paid no Fed taxes on top of receiving a 3.2 billion REFUND? WOW is all I can say about that.

It is not GE's fault, it is Congress for permitting these tax havens. Come on, admit it if you had a chance you would take advantage of these havens too.

Oh no...The CON's are going to be ticked.
(1) Don't tax the rich (The rich make the rules)
(2) If you tax them, they will send jobs overseas (Already done..)
(3) Tax break, give backs and perks are not entitlement or welfare programs, because it is the rich that get them. (The rich don't like it when you call the breaks they get welfare...however that is the accurate term for it.)
(4) Looks like they won't be able to hire that extra illegal to work now will they.

Did I miss any of the Con's top whinning points of why they should be exempt of all taxes?

Well, public pressure worked. This was obscene, but hey, Imeldt is Barack's friend. Perhaps they had a tete-a-tete, since Barack has started campaigning.
